Chapter 44: Outrageous

"The strength of the ancient martial arts families truly cannot be underestimated. I’m curious, how did my father and his companions suppress you in the past?"
In the narrow alley, Jiang Chen and Su Luoxue were surrounded by a group of martial artists. Jiang Chen’s expression was calm as his gaze fell upon Ye Changqing, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Technology? After all, the only true difference between ancient martial arts families and the top clans is technological power."
...
Turning his head, under the crimson-clad man's expression twisted with rage, he grabbed the half-broken bone and thrust it towards the man's heart.
If things continued like this, the situation would spiral out of control. Even if no wild antics happened, with kisses deepening like this, she might soon have her clothes stripped away.
Despite how she rationalized it, few of those exalted, personally trained disciples ever looked kindly upon them, so Yang Zonglan remained tearfully grateful.
A gentle warmth surged through Shuimai's heart. In the chill of winter, she felt enveloped in comfort. She found herself enjoying it, surprised that Chu Tiankuo cared for her after all. She had thought he would only stand up for Yanxiang, never expecting that, when she was wronged, he would also step forward for her.
The arrival of autumn hadn’t caused the leaves in Jiangnan to yellow and fall in the bleak winds, leaving only bare branches behind. Instead, they remained vibrant, stretching their dark green leaves out in the autumn breeze, boldly displaying their vigorous life to the world.
Villagers came, along with business partners of Shui Yiren, all bringing gifts. Even officials, hoping to curry favor with Yun Haotian, visited in person.
Her heart was torn between shame and anger, worried every moment that Rong Qing would awaken, anxious and mortified.
Perhaps it was the illness she suffered in her youth that frightened him, for since then, he refused to travel far or leave her for more than a day.
Suddenly, Mo Ruisheng ceased his reflections and opened his eyes. The white mask upon his face stood out starkly.
Mu Yi roared in anger. At that moment, the doorway was completely blocked, shadows surging from all directions. The only escape was to leap out the window nearly ten meters away—a perilous situation.
Next, Ziluo began searching for a shop. Zishu, seeing that Ziluo hadn’t found a suitable place after several days in town, offered her one of his own.
The tiger before them was covered in brilliant orange fur, its smoothness and sheen unmistakable to any expert: this was not a creature to be trifled with.
The big-nosed, crimson-robed bishop launched into another bout of endless chatter, recounting the entire history of the crucifix to the Central Continent team in exhaustive detail.
Unfortunately, Yun Zhi had no idea that Bei Chongjing, in that brief instant, had so many thoughts whirl through his mind. She was simply focused on testing for poison. Watching Bei Chongjing calmly eat, and waiting several seconds with no ill effects, Yun Zhi finally relaxed. Apparently, there was nothing unusual. Had she worried too much?
Mu Yi nodded. He was quite eager to see the effects after the upgrade of the elven archer bloodline. He inspected the introductions for the two new skills. The first skill, Wind Entwined, appeared powerful, but required a target to test, so Mu Yi decided to first examine the potency of the second skill.
A nurse wheeled An Yufan out from the emergency room. He looked as if he were simply sleeping, gentle and quiet. An family’s parents followed the nurse into the advanced ward. Qin Zimu silently patted An Ke’er’s shoulder.
The heap of chopped vegetable leaves in the basin was full of rustic flavor, nothing like the lush, verdant greens shown in the photos. How could this possibly be shepherd’s purse?
"Change clothes? Isn’t this fine? It’s just a private gathering among us, there’s no need to be so formal," Jin Guangyan replied confidently.
"Yan Xiaoxiao, isn’t it?" The man asked softly. Yan Xiaoxiao couldn’t see the subtle smile lingering on his lips.
